Assai Cello quartet

Born in 2013, the ASSAI cello quartet comes as an initiative from four symphoniaASSAI members to expand their activity within the orchestra beyond the symphonic frame. Since then the quartet has been performing regularly in Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp, Hasselt, Peer, Voeren). A highlight in 2013 was the quartet’s residency at the International School of Brussels (ISB) as part of the Visiting Artists and Scholars Program.

Clara Sanchez, Helena Fuertes, Koen Berger and Johanna Peiler have all studied in Belgian Conservatories (Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel and Lemmensinstituut Leuven); however, they unite the characters and qualities of three different nationalities: Spanish, Belgian and German.

Passionate about music in general and cello in particular, they want to share their enthusiasm and energy not only through orchestral playing, but also through this very particular chamber music project.

The cello having a very broad range from bass to soprano register, is particularly suitable to form a quartet with fourth identical instruments.

With a wide repertoire of original pieces and interesting transcriptions, works for cello quartet include music that goes from J.S. Bach to J. Jongen, W. Fitzenhagen or A. Piazzolla.
